Creativity, podcasting, and monetization tapas 💃

Hi from sunny Barcelona, Reader! ☀️💃 Since I'm in the birth country of tapas, it's only fitting today's Inside Story is a bite-sized assortment of all things creativity, podcasting, and monetization. Buen provecho! What inspires you to be creative? That's what a friend of mine, Nina, co-founder of IP consulting business Fruba, recently asked me. And I created a little video with my answer! Check it out on the right 👉 That also inspired me (funny how that works) to prioritize something that I...

Knowing when it’s time to call it quits

This is not meant as a humblebrag, but I've been a guest on plenty of podcasts by now, Reader. And while some interviews I felt went better than others, I never thought "Uh-oh, I don't know if I want this to air" afterward. Until a couple of months back. Melissa, a great mindset coach I know, had announced she was launching the Founders’ Fears & Failures podcast to normalize mental health struggles + redefine failure in the startup ecosystem and was looking for guests. “I know something about...

Why creative expression is worth investing in with Cassandra Le

Is there a topic you’re super passionate about that you feel isn’t getting covered enough or properly, Reader? Feel like your unique perspective is missing, but don’t feel ready to jump in the ring?

6 social media challenges to conquer to boost your creativity + mental health

I joined Facebook in my very first year of high school, Reader.Afterward, I studied journalism, media, and cultural studies when I went to university, which of course social media is a part of. I even wrote a paper on how fiction authors are leveraging social media. After university, I went into marketing, and from the start, I was the designated millennial social media person. I even remember secretly rolling my eyes when I had older colleagues refuse to use social media or didn't understand...

Curated list of my fave tech & tools

I suck at online shopping, Reader. Here’s how a typical shopping spree will go down, illustrated by my recent purchase of new ankle boots: 1. I’ll grudgingly admit I need to replace my old boots because the leather is so worn through, you can already see what color socks I’m wearing. (Usually black, unless I’m feeling funky and go for a bright pattern or bold color.) 2. I'll go to the app for an online shopping site I have an account on (this part is important, you’ll soon find out why) and...

Inside Story

Fun fact Reader: I’ve lived in eight countries and moved between them 13 times.* Okay, depending on who you are, that might not exactly be a fun fact, more like a nightmare worse than realizing you don’t have any coffee left in the house on Monday morning (I know, blood-curdling thought 😨). But while the globetrotter thing got started by my parents, I enthusiastically kept going after I left home (eight of those 13 moves I did solo as an adult). Now though, I’ve been in Berlin quite a long...
